Prostate Cancer Treatment
Comprehensive Prostate Cancer Care in Rajasthan
Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, a small walnut-shaped organ in men that produces seminal fluid. This condition occurs when cells in the prostate tissue grow abnormally and uncontrollably, potentially forming tumors. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men, particularly those over age 50. Many prostate cancers grow slowly and may remain confined to the prostate gland, while others can be more aggressive and spread to other body parts. Early-stage prostate cancer often produces no noticeable symptoms, which makes regular screening important. Warning signs may include difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, blood in urine or semen, bone pain, erectile dysfunction, and unexplained weight loss. Zanish Cancer Hospital provides advanced prostate cancer treatment in Rajasthan, combining cutting-edge medical technology with compassionate care to support men through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
Evidence-Based Treatment Methods and Multidisciplinary Approach
Our prostate cancer treatment protocols follow international oncology guidelines and incorporate the latest clinical research. Treatment recommendations are individualized based on cancer stage, Gleason score, PSA levels, patient age, overall health, and personal preferences regarding quality of life considerations.
Active surveillance may be appropriate for low-risk, slow-growing prostate cancers. This approach involves regular monitoring through PSA testing, digital rectal examinations, and periodic biopsies to track cancer progression. Active surveillance allows patients to avoid or delay treatment side effects while maintaining close medical oversight.
Surgical options include radical prostatectomy, where surgeons remove the entire prostate gland and surrounding tissue. Our surgical team performs both open and minimally invasive robotic-assisted procedures, selecting the approach best suited to each patient’s clinical situation. Minimally invasive techniques often result in shorter hospital stays, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery times.
Radiation therapy serves as an effective treatment option, either as primary treatment or following surgery. External beam radiation therapy delivers precise radiation doses to the prostate while protecting surrounding organs. Brachytherapy involves placing radioactive seeds directly into the prostate tissue for localized radiation delivery. Our radiation oncologists utilize advanced planning systems to optimize treatment precision.
Hormone therapy blocks or reduces testosterone and other male hormones that fuel prostate cancer growth. This treatment may be used alone for advanced cancer or combined with radiation therapy to enhance effectiveness. Newer hormone therapies provide additional options for patients with advanced or resistant disease.
For advanced prostate cancer, chemotherapy and targeted therapies may be recommended. Our medical oncologists stay current with emerging treatments including immunotherapy and precision medicine approaches when clinically appropriate.
Our multidisciplinary tumor board brings together urologic surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists to collaboratively review cases and develop comprehensive treatment plans. This team-based approach ensures patients benefit from diverse specialist perspectives and integrated care coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions
PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is a protein produced by the prostate gland. PSA testing measures PSA levels in blood and helps detect potential prostate problems including cancer. Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate cancer, but can also result from benign conditions like enlarged prostate or prostatitis. Your physician will interpret PSA results along with other clinical factors.
Screening recommendations depend on age, risk factors, and personal health considerations. Men should discuss screening benefits and limitations with their healthcare provider, typically starting around age 50 for average-risk individuals, or earlier for those with family history or other risk factors. Screening decisions should be individualized based on informed discussion.
Treatment side effects vary by treatment type. Surgery may affect urinary control and sexual function. Radiation can cause urinary symptoms, bowel changes, and fatigue. Hormone therapy may cause hot flashes, weight changes, and decreased libido. Many side effects improve over time, and various management strategies exist to minimize impact on quality of life.
Treatment selection depends on multiple factors including cancer stage, Gleason score, PSA level, age, overall health, and personal priorities regarding potential side effects. Our team provides detailed information about each treatment option's benefits and risks to support informed decision-making. Second opinions are always welcomed and encouraged.
While lifestyle changes cannot cure prostate cancer, maintaining healthy habits may support overall well-being during treatment. Regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, stress management, and avoiding tobacco may help patients maintain strength and cope with treatment. Our support team provides guidance on healthy lifestyle practices.
